    On social media I've seen too many sports fans put their entertainment above the health of athletes. It's great seeing so many people being supportive of Vito, and talking about the need for more Olympic weights.
    I'm just a fan, but I've come to love this sport so much. It makes me so angry that so many great wrestlers around the world aren't able to compete in the Olympics because there are only 6 weights.

      @kodabear1996 you were right we need to start being athlete focused, especially since these are the people out there getting it done entertaining us

      @@WrestlingMindset It's something I'm pretty passionate about. That's one reason I started praying for Mizzou athletes and coaches, and sending Prayer Tweets to those who are on Twitter (X). That led to me becoming a #TigerStyle fan, and now I probably have about 300 non-Mizzou current and former wrestlers on my weekly prayer list.

    We need to get the weight divisions expanded this is creating a desperate weight cutting situation. Their bodies can’t heal up simultaneously

    We need 10 weight classes again! So ridiculous half the population doesn’t get a shot. Humans are not all built the same. Track and field would never remove 40% of their events.

    I don’t understand the Olympic committee’s rationale for going from 10 to 6 weight classes. Obviously, the people on the committee have never wrestled. It’s a damn shame.
